The co-founder of Alkemics has joined Hexa to help launch startups focused on critical industries. The move adds another experienced operator to Hexa’s venture-building platform as it continues to back new companies aimed at sectors where reliability, infrastructure, and operational resilience matter most.
Alkemics, known for building software for consumer goods and retail data management, gave its co-founder direct experience in scaling a B2B technology company. That background is now being brought into Hexa’s startup creation model, which combines company building, product development, and early-stage support.
The initiative is centered on industries considered critical, suggesting a focus on markets such as essential infrastructure, supply chains, industrial systems, or other sectors where technology can have outsized economic and operational impact. By recruiting a founder with hands-on experience in building and growing a successful company, Hexa is reinforcing its strategy of pairing domain expertise with startup creation.
The move also reflects a broader trend in European venture building: targeting complex, high-value sectors rather than consumer-facing products alone. For Hexa, the addition strengthens its ability to identify problems in demanding industries and turn them into new ventures with experienced leadership from the outset.
